Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- ⅓ cup butter (regular or vegan), melted
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3-6 tbsp milk (regular or vegan), as needed
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or white whole wheat flour), heat treated
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ tsp salt
Optional Mix-Ins
- ¼-⅓ cup chopped chocolate or chocolate chips (regular or vegan)
Instructions
- Heat Treat the Flour: Place about 1 cup of flour in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 1-2 minutes or spread it on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (177°C) for 5 minutes. Allow the flour to cool completely before using to ensure it is safe to eat.
- Melt Butter and Combine Sugars: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Whisk in the light brown sugar and granulated sugar until fully combined and smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Add the heat-treated flour, cocoa powder, and salt to the wet mixture. Mix until just combined to form a thick batter.
- Add Milk Gradually: Stir in 3 tablespoons of milk to start, then add more milk one tablespoon at a time until the batter reaches your desired consistency—rich and fudgy but scoopable.
- Incorporate Mix-Ins and Serve: Fold in the chopped chocolate or chocolate chips or any desired toppings. Enjoy immediately or chill as desired.
Notes
- Heat Treating Flour: Since raw flour can contain harmful bacteria, heat treat about one-third cup more flour than needed by microwaving or baking, then cool before using.
- Milk Options: Use any milk you prefer—dairy or plant-based. Add milk gradually to control batter texture.
- Mix-In Variations: Experiment with mini chocolate chips, sprinkles, crushed Oreos, chopped peanut butter cups, peanut butter chips, white chocolate chips, or nuts for a personalized touch.
- Storage: Store batter covered in the fridge for up to 1 week. It will firm up and should be softened at room temperature for about 20 minutes before eating. Freeze formed balls wrapped in plastic and stored in a ziplock bag for up to 2 months.
